Abstract:
A prime concern in the design of any general purpose programming language should be the ease and safety of working with natural numbers, particularly in conjunction with discrete data structures. This theme of commitment to the naturals as the basic numeric data type is explored in the context of a lazy functional language. Non-Title Keywords: structural correspondence, numeric types, total functions, closed systems, functional programming, lazy evaluation.
